Dres of Black Sheep will be front and center on television screens as a new documentary on his life and career will debut on Paramount+.
As part of the 1990’s fabled rap duo Black Sheep, Dres has been at the forefront as one of Hip-Hop’s most magnetic personalities. Now, he is the latest figure from the culture to have his story captured on film as a new documentary, The Choice Is Yours, is set to debut on the Paramount+ streaming service. Dres announced the news by sharing the poster of the film through a post on X, formerly Twitter on Monday (November 6), with the caption “Pencil me in.”
The Choice Is Yours chronicles Dres’ journey as an MC, rising to fame with Black Sheep on the strength of their iconic single “The Choice Is Yours” and captures him as he works to rediscover the same stratospheric levels of success as an independent artist since the group’s demise. The documentary also features his work in highlighting the ills of the music industry that he’s experienced, sitting down with other artists, journalists, celebrities, and music executives in the process.
“Hip-Hop gives us the opportunity to blow up. It also gives us the opportunity to implode,” Dres says in the trailer. “As we strive to live up to our character, in the mirror we see the champion and challenger knowing the choice is yours.”
The documentary,y directed by Clark Slater, also features Dres’ work on his upcoming album, a special project that showcases his discovery of music from the late legendary producer J Dilla. Slater is best known for his work on the HBO documentary on DMX, Music Box:DMX:Don’t Try To Understand which was released in 2021. The hard drive of beats, which hadn’t been shared with the public until this point are bestowed upon Dres thanks to a chance meeting with someone very close to the producer who tasks him with making the next great Dilla album.
The Choice Is Yours premieres on Paramount+ on Tuesday, November 21. Check out the trailer for the documentary below.

Ed and Dexter are back, whether you care or not. The latest trailer for Good Burger 2 has arrived and gives us a better look at the upcoming film coming to Paramount+.
In the new full trailer for Good Burger 2, Dexter (Kenan Thompson) and Ed (Kel Mitchell) have to save the fast food restaurant once again when the evil Mega Corp threatens to put Mega Good Burgers all over the country that feature robots as staff.
Word of the sequel’s existence first hit the web in March, and a teaser trailer arrived in August, and it was met with some mixed reactions.
Most criticisms revolved around the film being years too late and Kel’s “casket-ready glam” for Ed.
This new trailer not only reveals the film’s plot but also shows off the star power in it. In the trailer, we get appearances from mega-popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, Marsai Martin, and Rob Gronkowski, along with newcomers Lil Rel Howery, Jillian Bell, Kamaia Fairburn, Alex R. Hibbert, Fabrizio Guido, Elizabeth Hinkler, and Emily Hinkler as Cindy and Mindy, and Anabel Graetz as Ruth.
Returning cast members include Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, and Carmen Electra.
Good Burger 2 Is Banking On Nostalgia
Even though Good Burger 2 is not coming to theaters, Paramount+ and Nickelodeon Studios are banking on nostalgia, bringing back lifelong fans of All That, the Good Burger skit, and the cult classic 2008 film that was a box office success bringing in $24 million on $8 million budget.
Paramount+ also hopes the sequel will bring in new fans, and who knows, we could get a Good Burger 3 if this film is better or as good as the first movie.
We’re happy to see Kenan and Kel working together again. Good Burger 2 arrives exclusively on Paramount+ on November 22.
Peep the trailer below.

Before their fall from grace, the two models-turned-singers gained widespread popularity and fame for their first album, which was released in 1989. The success resulted in the set going platinum six times in the U.S., with the hit song “Girl You Know It’s True” selling over 30 million copies worldwide, according to a press release. They even won a Grammy for best new artist, solidifying the duo’s label as one of the world’s most popular artists in 1990. That is, until a live performance revealed that Pilatus and Morvan were lip-synching, with revelations that the two weren’t the singers on the album coming out later on. The duo’s Grammy was also later revoked.
Through clips and interviews throughout the documentary, viewers can expect a new perspective.

What happens when you give a former a slave a badge and a gun and tell him he’s the law in a town where the Ku Klux Klan run rampant and Black people are still viewed as less than by their white counterparts? You get history.
Paramount+ released their first trailer for their upcoming series Lawmen: Bass Reeves, which is based on the story of the titular character who was appointed to become the first Black U.S. Marshall in Mississippi in the late 1800’s. Starring David Oyelowo as Reeves, the trailer showcases all the racism and hardships you’d expect to see Black people experience in that time period. Heck, the KKK didn’t even have the fancy pointed hoodies yet and were still out there harassing and threatening Black people with farming equipment and torches.
According to Deadline, the series is the first of what could be many which will explore the stories of many lawmen and outlaws who’ve been lost to the pages of history.
Deadline reports:
“Growing up in Texas, I heard a lot of stories about Bass Reeves. They were always akin to a dime novel hero with incredibly fanciful flourishes of a gunslinging lawman pursuing the most-hardened outlaws in the Wild West,” said Chad Feehan, who created Bass Reeves and also serves as showrunner/EP. “Somewhere in my childhood that myth of Bass took firm root in my consciousness and never left. Then one day, not too long ago, David Oyelowo invited me to dinner. Over the course of our meal, he explained his seven-year journey to tell Bass’s story, where the myth of the man both converged with and separated from reality, and why Bass’s life was more relevant than ever.”
“I immediately went home and scoured the internet, read books and listened to podcasts,” Feehan continued. “I became obsessed with what I didn’t know, with all of the nooks and crannies of Bass’ remarkable life that aren’t regularly shared, as well as with revisiting the often-told tales through a now-adult lens. That spark of obsession morphed into a raging Fire of determination, fueled by my desire to play a role, no matter how big or small, and assist David in honoring the legacy of Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves.”
Should be interesting.
Check out the trailer for Lawmen: Bass Reeves below and let us know if you’ll be checking for this when it hits Paremount+ come November 5th.

The first look at the long-awaited (and possibly too late) sequel, Good Burger 2, has arrived.
Good Burger 2, the sequel to the cult classic 1997 film, is coming to Paramount+ this year, and it looks to recapture that feeling of the original movie while luring in some new fans.
As far as the plot for the sequel, the logline for the straight-to-streaming film says it “follows Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and original cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell), as they reunite in the present day at fast-food restaurant Good Burger with a hilarious new group of employees.”
Good Burger 2 was finally announced in March and came after both Thompson and Mitchell said they were both open to bringing back the beloved characters for another film. Per Variety, joining Kenan and Kel in the new film will be “Lil Rel Howery, Jillian Bell, Kamaia Fairburn, Alex R. Hibbert, Fabrizio Guido, Elizabeth Hinkler, and Emily Hinkler as Cindy and Mindy, and Anabel Graetz as Ruth.”
Other original cast members from the first film returning are Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, and Carmen Electra.

Before becoming a successful box office film, grossing under $24 million against a $8 million budget, Good Burger gained its relevance as a skit on the popular Nickelodeon sketch comedy show All That. From there, it would receive cult status, with Thompson and Mitchell reviving the characters for a skit in 2015 on The Tonight Show.
Mitchell also appeared as Ed in the revival of All That in 2019.
X Users Have Thoughts About Good Burger 2
Good Burger 2 finally getting a trailer and release date is a big deal, and X users are reacting. It’s a mix of reactions ranging from excitement, confusion about why it’s happening, and thoughts about Mitchell’s makeup in the film.
